Make It Monday 178



Todays PTI challenge is to make a back to school blackboard - using a die cut to create  the "legs" of your easel.   I created a green shaded blackboard because that's what I remember they started using when I was in school.  I also remember how Miss O'Brien always decorated our Fourth Grade room with all kinds of cut outs - and I remember the distinct smell of the purple-y stuff they used to duplicate assignments and drawings.  So it seemed natural to string up some "leaves" the way she would have done!


Paper: Classic Kraft, Ocean Tides, Dark Chocolate - all PTI
Ink:  PTI Classic Kraft, Fresh Snow, Dark Chocolate
Dies:  PTI Polkadot Parade #2. Journaling card
